I'm a caver

RSVPs have just finished their time frame.  We are waiting on a few people.  Due to these stragglers, I have officially become an additional guest caver.  So far 5 people who aren't invited are coming.  In my head, this is okay because they were all maybes when we were doing the invitation process anyway.  It is hard to say no to your family.

I caved on one too.  My H's friend called and asked if he could bring a plus one.  I told H to ask him who it was, and his friend said he couldn't say.  H told him we couldn't accommodate an extra, so the friend told us who it was.  His date was a friend of mine that was one of the last cut from the list, so we said okay.

Yeah, that happened to us too.  We had two of my H's cousins write in their boyfriend/girlfriend who we didn't know they were with at the time and hadn't invited.  Since we had enough declines anyway, we didn't bother saying no and just went ahead and let it go.

As the wedding got closer and we were getting more and more 'no' RSVPs for the reception, when people would ask if they could bring a guest or something, I'd usually just say yes.

But of course, this was only to people that I really liked. I was a huge caver. And I don't really regret it, either.

We originally didn't invite anyone from DH's job, and they were really wanting to come, so we told them to go ahead and come. They came and were totally happy.
